In Auckland

this time of the year. Also bring a raincoat or umbrella
Money Stuff: (Aussies only)
We held back the transfer to NZ of the payments that you
Australians had made into our Toowong Westpac account until the exchange rate
was the best possible in your favour. Transferring these funds in bulk incurred
very little cost, and has so far saved you up to $A50-60 per person compared
with you sending individual payments to us via the normal banking system. The
$A has been relatively weak for some time vs the $NZ (for a change!), but our
approach has squeezed the maximum value out of the payments you have made so
far towards Convergence registration, and will do so in the future.
Help Please
I need someone who is familiar with computers and MS Power Point
presentations to offer a laptop and services at Convergence for demos that will
be using Power Point. If you can help please email me. SHFC2015@vodafone.co.nz
Any queries please contact me.
Regards
Raewyn
